In 1999, an 11-year-old by the name of Kevin Stephan was a batboy during a game being played at Erie Community Colleges.  He was accidentally struck in the chest with a baseball bat.  He collapsed, and his heart stopped beating.  Fortunately, a nurse was in attendance, and was able to save Kevin’s life by restarting his heart.

Ten days ago (Jan. 27), Kevin, now 17, was working as a dishwasher in the kitchen of a restaurant in Depew, New York, when he heard about a restaurant customer who was choking.  He rushed out and performed the Heimlich maneuver, saving the woman patron’s life.

It turns out that the woman patron was the very same nurse who saved Kevin’s life six-and-a-half years ago.  Good story.
